Up to a point. There are some things that should not be ignored, e.g., "Trump says he's not mulling a draft executive order to seize control over elections":

"Trump, seeking executive power over elections, is urged to declare emergency":

The prior news that "sources close to people who say they hear from a guy who went to school with someone who said ... that trump said he was mulling thinking about drafting an executive order ..." should be ignored, the follow up should be ignored and the inevitable follow to the follow up should also be ignored.
These are attention seeking outbursts at best, clickbait, lies and propaganda at worst.
